Dole issues precautionary recall of Italian blend salads

Dole recently issued a precautionary recall of its bagged Italian blend salads becaues of a possible Listeria contamination. The recall affected over 2,800 cases of the salads.

The recall was issued after inspectors found that one of the bags tested positive for Listeria during a routine test. The recall of the salads, which had already been sent to at least 12 states, including Wisconsin, was issued immediately. No illnesses caused by the salads were reported.
